NEW RICHMOND RECORD.

FRANKFORT GIRLS' COURTING BILL.

woman is the salvation of the race, the hope of future greatness, the redemption of man. Wipe out her purity and man sinks below the wave of dispair with not a star to guide his life into a channel of safety. Think, then, before you speak, and remember any hog can root up the fairest flower that ever grew, so the vilest man can ruin the fairest character.

A RUN ON THE BANK.

$1:90 per Year, in Advance.

There have been several runs on the banks of Crawfordsville during their history and everyone without the least excuse, says the Crawfordsville Sunday Star. Along in the fall of 1895 during the financial stringency all the banks were unable to get cash on New York or other eastern collections and the big banks of the sea coast sent memorandums of credit but no cash; their “certificates” were good enough in the east, but here they wouldn’t pay depositors in case people wanted their money. Banks were going to pieces all over the country and one day a traveling man for a LaFayette fruit house, to have some fun, would tell that a certain bank in this city had closed the preceding day and before some one would bite at the joke and enable the rare old humorist to say that the bank had closed at 4 o ’clock as usual he would move on into some other

crowd and repent the joke. He was like the very frequent fool who pointed a gun at another man not knowing it was loaded, and so did a vast amount of mischief. People came to town in swarms and got their money. The crowds got bigger every day and yet the bank officers paid out the cash just as though they had millions and were glad to get rid of it; they even kept open later than usual to accomodate people. The result of it was that no loans were made and the banks had each and all to call in their short time loans and prepare for a storm. Banks in the east failed to honor drafts and one bank president who had the worst end of the fight for the reason that his bank was the one on which the awfully funny joke was told sent his collections “C. O. D.” by express and the money came back by the dray load in silver. One morning $22,000 in silver was unloaded at his bank door and the money just as it came from the U. S. subtreasury was stacked up like so much cord wood in the lobby in front of the bank counter. When they saw such an abundance of cash they began to bring their money back to the bank by the armload. Most of them had an apology for making the run on the bank. The officers never said a word and smilingly took in the cash, but they were loaded up with a lot of silver that it took them some time to work it off. .One man who had drawn out $1,500 and got it all in silver said when he brought back the money that he was sorry but that he would rather have lost the money than to sit up another night watching it.

And speaking about money, the banks are now trying to force gold into circulation with poor success. Some of the manufacturing concerns pay their men in gold but the employes complain, saying that they don’t like gold, and the money won’t stay in circulation, the tradesmen soon bringing it back for deposit. Said a leading banker: “Put $1,000 in gold in circulation to-day and by a week seventy-five per cent, of it will come back into the bank. Silver coin seems to be the money of the people, and next to that $1 and $2 bills are the popular denominations most of them go after.”

Senator Elect Gard yesterday found among his other Christmas presents the following prepared bill presented by a band of Frankfort young ladies, with a demand that the senator introduce it among the first measures to be introduced by him in the coming legislature.

PROPOSED MEASURES TO GAME AND FISH LAW.

Follownig are the provisions of the proposed new game and fish law which the next Indiana legislature will be asked to pass. It will be of interest to hunters and fishermen. It provides that it shall be lawful: For any justice of the peace in the state of Indiana to issue a warrant when the proper affidavit is filed, authorizing the constable or officer of the fish and game commission to search any house, cold storage plant or place where any kind of game is supposed to be kept when the possession of such game is prohibited by law.

It is considered prima facia evidence of guilt for any person to be found in the woods or fields with a gun at a time when hunting the various kinds of game is prohibited, and it shall be lawful for any officer of the game and fish commission to accost and search any person so found for any kind of unlawful game. It shall be unlawful to use any kind of a seine, net, except a minnow net, trap or device, except a hook and line or set line, to catch any fish in any of the waters of the state, except Lake Michigan, the Ohio river, any private pond, or the Wabash river so far as it is a boundary line between the states of Indiana and Illinois. Provided that it shall not be lawful to use any kind of a seine, net, trap or device in the Wabash or Ohio rivers within one hundred yards of the mouth of any stream emptying into such rivers from the Indiana side.

A bill for an act entitled: “An Act to regulate the conduct of Male Bachelors, prescribing their duties, fixing penalties for the violation of same, and declaring an emergency.” Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Indiana, that in order to protect the rights and duties of old maids and to secure to them the privileges of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, vouchsafed to them by the constitution, the following provisions shall apply to the government of all male bachelors over 30

CHANGE IN BUSINESS.

Monday of last week at Wingate the grain elevator passed into the hands of Joseph and Isaac Henry. The former proprietor, R. M. Sims, was not a resident of Wingate and for that reason the people are pleased with the change, as well as having confidence in the Henrys. The new owners took possession Tuesday morning, January 1. — Mellott Hustler.

NEW BRICK FACTORY.

years of age. I.

Crawfordsville Journal.

Mr. Irwin G. Posten, late of the Veedersburg brick factory, is organizing a company in Crawfordsville for the purpose of manufacturing vitrified brick. The definite location of the factory in this city depends on the ability of the company to secure a suitable site at a reasonable price. That matter is being negotiated now and will be settled probably within a few days. The capital stock of the company is $100,000, of which $50,000 is to be paid in at the beginning. The rest will be subscribed Inter, as the growth of business demands. At the start there will be no less than fifty men employed, the minimum wages being $1.50 a day. The company will manufacture the Posten patent block, a superior paving brick of an ingenius pattern, of which Mr. Posten is the inventor. Already 100,000,000 of them have been made at Veedersburg, and are in use in various parts of the world. If the factory is built here this block will be manufactured exclusively in Crawfordsville. The company will also make vitrified sidewalk brick and vitrified building brick. The latter is becoming very popular in cities now on account of its superior qualities. Mr. Posten and his relatives have taken over $30,000 of the stock, the rest being subscribed by H. H. Ristine, Fred Hoffman, James M. Waugh and others.

The would be society girls of the “sweet sixteen” variety; who generally consider themselves belles of the community, should be careful how they snub the awkward, uncouth boy of the same age. When they are 28 and slightly shelf-worn these boys will be young men, and they will be pretty apt to remember the snub. The snub business is risky, anyway, for the “world do move” and it is impossible to tell who will be on top next year. Remember you can’t stop this old world from turning round. —Ex.
